Video: NRA Argues Starbucks' Ban On Guns Is Similar To Ban On Gays

Starbucks announced last week that the company was “respectfully requesting that customers no longer bring firearms into our stores or outdoor seating areas—even in states where “open carry” is permitted—unless they are authorized law enforcement personnel.”

Colion Noir, a 29-year-old attorney and news commentator for the NRA, has responded to Starbucks’ recent open letter requesting that customers no longer bring guns into their stores, even in states where it is legal to openly carry a firearm.

Mr Noir filmed his response “in the wake of Starbucks coming out the proverbial anti-gun closet.”

He continues to say: “Yes, I said anti-gun — because when you request that I don’t bring my gun with me into your store, that’s an anti-gun stance. Think about it. When you say, ‘We’re not pro-or-anti-gay but please all gay people – we respectfully ask that you not bring your gayness into the store. I mean, we’ll still serve you, but if you can leave the gayness at the door, we would much appreciate it.’

“Now if that’s what they said I highly doubt Tom Ford would go start designing a black Tuscan coffee signature cologne in support of this stance.”

Yeah...that sounds like a stretch to us, primarily because we can't leave our gayness in the glove compartment.

It is amazing how everyone on this page has managed to instantly stereotype all NRA members as "gun-nuts" and "idiotic" based on the assertions of one person who claims to be a NRA member. How can a group of people who claim abhor unfair labels instantly turn around and plaster one on NRA members based on the obviously half baked rant of one individual?

This article is ridiculous! The NRA has nothing to do with this argument.. How can you even support your claim that the National Rifle Association is remotely condoning this statement?? This is not good reporting, taking the words of one person, calling them the opinion of an entire national organization and basing an article on it. I mean LOL, this is a complete fail instinct.

What an idiotic statement, everyone knows that there is a difference between descrimination based on sexual orientation and asking patrons to abide by certain conduct they would appreciate in their establishments. Besides when gays empty their chamber, you are not likely to die as a result.

Nice that instinctmagazine.com is stirring the pot of hatred with a Headline that is far from the truth. Yes, the idiot in the video makes a stupid and invalid statement but it is far less offensive than the false headline this article promotes.
Stir stir stir...
It doesn't matter which side of the argument your on with Gun Control, it is articles like these that distract from the real issues and brings no conclusions.
This isn't reporting, it is self promotion to get readership...Shame.

I wouldn't expect anything less than an idiotic statement from the NRA. They've become particularly good at it lately.

We don't purchase our "gayness" and then choose to take it into a store. Guns are not a sexual orientation. They are not a race. They are not a gender. Only a moron would think they are in any way comparable - but that seems to be today's NRA.
